Newsong

NewSong is an influential American contemporary Christian music group that was formed in 1981 at Morningside Baptist Church in Valdosta, Georgia. Over the years, they have garnered significant recognition, including twelve GMA Dove Award nominations and a Grammy Award nomination. Their commitment to the Christian music scene is exemplified by their founding of the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular in 1995, which has grown to become the largest annual Christian music tour in the United States, featuring renowned artists such as TobyMac and MercyMe.

The group has a rich discography, having recorded three custom albums independently before signing with Covenant Records in 1982. Their first major release, “The Son In My Eyes,” set the stage for a successful career, leading to a series of albums with Canaan Records and later with DaySpring Records. Notably, their 1993 album “All Around The World” produced four No. 1 hits, showcasing their ability to create chart-topping music that resonates with audiences.

NewSong’s impact extends beyond music; they have actively supported organizations focused on helping abandoned and underprivileged children, initially partnering with World Vision and later with Holt International. Their philanthropic efforts reflect their dedication to making a positive difference in the community, further solidifying their reputation as a group committed to both faith and service.

In addition to their musical achievements, NewSong’s song “The Christmas Shoes” became a cultural phenomenon, inspiring a book and a TV movie. Their continued evolution in the music industry, including a transition to Integrity Music in 2004, demonstrates their adaptability and enduring appeal in the contemporary Christian music landscape.
